You do a disservice to Joe McCarthy by comparing Obama's misrepresentations for political purposes to his (McCarthy's) plain speaking about facts as he saw them. Bluntly, Obama lied or at the least blundered ignorantly. McCarthy never said anything he did not think was true and that later events did not support, however stridently he expressed his views. Conservatives need to stop agreeing with the left's malicious character assassination of Tail Gunner Joe.
